Bloodshed in Pakistan : High Alert Declared

Recent Elections raised a bloodshed in Pakistan, which costs at least 20 people’s life and leave 50 others wounded on Tuesday in three suicide bombings in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.

The blasts came as opposition parties that won a February 18 election were forming a coalition government, raising hopes for political stability after months of turmoil over opposition to President Pervez Musharraf.

Two of the attacks targeted an office of the Federal Investigation Agency — one at the main gate and the other inside. At least 16 people were killed in that blast, which happened shortly before 9:30 a.m.

A third suicide bomber exploded outside a house being used by an advertising agency in a residential area known as Model Town, killing at least four people.

Just a week ago, twin suicide bombers set off explosives at the Pakistan Navy War College in Lahore, killing at least five people and wounding at least 16.

More than 500 people have been killed in Pakistan this year in militant-related violence, including a campaign of suicide bombings.
